2022 Finca Sophenia Estate Reserva Malbec Tupungato

This distinctive red is engagingly aromatic, with tea leaf and spiced berry pastry notes leading to an equally engaging palate, where a trace of river mint runs through the vibrant flavors of fresh cherry and mirabelle plum, while a thread of mineral acidity adds some tension and lengthens the structured finish, echoing back to the core flavors.

An excellent example of the house's style, this Malbec from 25-year-old vines planted in the Sophenia vineyards in Gualtallary, has a delicious load of fruit. Consistent with the year, which was warm, this is generous in black fruits and sweet flavors in a red that's pure fruit and pure flavor accompanied by juicy acidity and sweet and friendly tannins. A sample of Gualtallary's abundant fruit. ~ 92 Descorchados

Subtle sweet spices, red cherries and sour berries on the nose. Bright and juicy on the palate, with a medium body and fresh, firm tannins. A very vibrant, lively style that encourages drinking. Enjoy now. ~ 91 James Suckling

Red wine made exclusively from Malbec grapes grown in Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, aged for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels. It shows excellent varietal character, with ripe red and black fruit accompanied by floral, herbal, and spice notes that carry through on the palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with refreshing acidity, firm tannins, and a juicy, persistent finish marked by notes of plum, blackberry, and violet. ~ 91 Revista Adega

The 2022 Malbec Estate Reserva Sophenia is a vibrant wine from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley and spent 12 months in 10% new oak barrels. A lovely purple hue. The nose presents lush, liqueur-like notes of ripe cherry and plum. Indulgent and taut in the mouth, the reactive tannins and juicy flow precede a pleasant, lingering finish and aftertaste.” ~ 90 Vinous Media
